Portugal is a very good place to start surfing, and october is eaven better cose theres less crowd and water is warmer.. Theres are few interesting places such as Lisbon Area, Peniche, Ericeira and Costa Vicentina wich all have nice beaches for starters..

I suggest Peniche cose youl be able to get the Rip Cur Pro Peniche from 10 to 21 October, havin the oportunity to see all the pros and their increcdible performances!

I you need any more advice or suggestion about places to stay, surflessons, local tours and activities just let me know..

im coming to Faro in the beginning of october with a couple of friends. but none of them is surfing.
i'm loking for a surf-buddy, to check out some spots!
you know anyone in this area or do you live near by?
greets

Hi Sally, Portugal is really a great place to surf. You have the mellow Caparica near Lisbon, the experienced spots of Peniche and Ericeira and the truly paradise and friendly coastline of west Alentejo and Algarve. If you want to travel with free schedules and free destination may I suggest a camper van. Take a look at portugalbyvan.wordpress.com, it's the entire coastline at lowcost. Either way you'll have a great time in Portugal, that's for sure. Cheers.
